A Real Pain was an underdog movie-turned-indie sensation and it’s thanks to the writer, director and costar Jesse Eisenberg creating the story. It’s his costar Kieran Culkin’s amazing performance post-hit TV series Succession that made it Golden Globe worthy. The Home Alone alum almost turned it down, but thanks to Emma Stone, Culkin had a change of heart.

The Eisenberg-directed film was the saddest and funniest movie last year, according to our own Riley Utley. While it didn’t rank officially as one of the best movies of 2024, it became something much more special to its fans. Culkin chatted with Entertainment Tonight at the Palm Springs International Film Society carpet for its award show about how he almost turned the role down, but didn’t because of Poor Things star Emma Stone. He said this of how she convinced him not to jump ship:

The main thing was once I realized I would be putting a lot of people out of work, I went, ‘Oh shit.’ Okay, well I gotta [I gotta] obviously do that. I would be a total asshole, which I’m not. I’m only a kind of an asshole, if you got to know me, you would see. I’m not a total one.
